How do I completely reset Windows update in Windows 11?

I've already tried all the usual fixes, deleting SoftwareDistribution and system32\catroot2. I even nuked HLKM\Software\Microsoft\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate and my history and my optional updates...

"Turns out I also needed to delete C:\ProgramData\USOPrivate and C:\ProgramData\USOShared in addition to C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution and C:\Windows\system32\catroot2

I am very surprised at how hard this answer was to find since so many people claim it works without this!"

When I have seen this happen I tell windows to pause updates and then I immediately hit resume updates and it finds updates fresh and fixes itself. This usually happens when updates were sitting in the que when updating to windows 11 from 10. (Not all win 10 updates were done before upgrading to 11 I mean.)
